Step 1: Welcome, Care & Connection
Our church is open to all. We believe in open doors and welcoming everyone as they
are. We accept the responsibility of being the Body of Christ in our community. We are
the hands, feet, eyes and ears of Christ. We practice accepting people as they are and
meeting their needs, whether that is food, clothing, or other support.
This step is about getting to know each person and caring for them first. We believe
meeting needs comes before anything else. As relationships are built, individuals are
invited into worship and other church activities. Worship becomes a sustaining act of
faith, not just as a first step but continues as an ongoing step. It is also where people
can begin to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and be invited to accept Him as
Lord and Savior.
Step 2: Faith in Action & Growth
This step focuses on growing and sustaining faith. Individuals are encouraged to
engage in prayer, not just as a habit but as a way to truly lean on God in both good
times and hard times. We create space for people to witness and share testimonies,
allowing others to see how God is working in real lives. This helps strengthen faith
beyond just saying you believe, encouraging trust that God will support and sustain you.
We offer weekly Bible study, currently focused on why we believe in Jesus Christ,
helping individuals grow in understanding and deepen their faith. We recognize baptism
and communion as sacraments, the church’s outward sign of God’s inward grace,
instituted by faith. Sacraments are not only visual but also spiritual. Communion helps
us remain grounded and connected to God as we continue to grow.
Step 3: Community & Service
We believe faith is lived out through serving others and being present in our community.
As disciples of Jesus Christ, we are called to love our neighbor and put our faith into
action, following what we see in Scripture.
Our church is committed to meeting real needs through outreach, service, and
community involvement. This includes providing food, supporting families, partnering
with local organizations, creating space for youth and community activities, and offering
care during important life moments. Through these efforts, we witness the work of God
in our lives and in the lives of others.
We invite everyone to participate, serve, and engage. As we serve, we continue to grow
as disciples, allowing God to work through us as we live out our faith in real and
meaningful ways.
Step 4: Christ-Like Living and Discipleship
This step is about putting everything together: worship, sacraments, prayer, faith in
action and service into a life that reflects Jesus Christ in all we say, see and do. As
disciples, we strive to live in ways that are pleasing to God, showing love, grace and
compassion in our daily lives.
Living like Christ also means modeling His ways for others, letting the light we carry
shine into our community and beyond. It is a life of ongoing growth, faith and
engagement that invites others to see, learn and join us on the journey.
We welcome you to take this step with us, to live fully as a disciple, and to share God’s
love with the world around you.
